But Laure realizes that what is freedom for Pierre is constraint for her and struggles with conflicting feelings: pity and condescension toward people who march lock-step into marriage versus her longing for ordinary family life. Her self-esteem demands that she distinguish her "understanding" with Pierre from the adulterous "affairs" that other people engage in, though she realizes t hat she is playing out every cliche about love with a married man: she is condemned to live a phantom life waiting for him to phone, being unable to call him at home; spending most of their time in bed since they cannot be seen in public; dealing with separations over holidays and family-oriented vacation times; suffering from curiosity and jealousy over his life "at home."
